Nintendo Solitaire
To most people, Nintendo is just one of those companies that have been around from before they were born. Nobody can tell when Nintendo was founded off the top of their heads, but if we had to guess, we’d say 1970s or the 1960s at the earliest. It turns out that this video game company is a lot older than that.
In fact, the story of Nintendo goes all the way back to September 23, 1889, when founder Fusajiro Yamauchi began selling handmade playing cards called hanafuda. You can still find some of these classic cards online, but we’re warning you that they can cost more than three times that of the Nintendo Switch.
